You're a prison I can't escape

You're a decision I never make

Heard me laughing

You heard me weep and moan

Oh- when it's good, it's so, so good

When it's gone, it's gone

They say time will kill the pain

I say pain is gonna kill my time

Lord won't you save me

Or leave me alone

Cause when it's good, it's so, so good

When it's gone, it's gone

Oh- gone

I hang your picture right above my mind

Don't do anything you can't deny

I could never be your pawn

Oh- cause when it's good, it's so, so good

When it's gone, it's gone

Some drink to remember

Some to forget

Some for satisfaction

Some to regret

I hope a brighter day to you I've shown

Oh- cause when it's good, it's so, so good

And when it's gone, it's gone

When it's gone, it's gone

When it's gone, it's gone

When it's gone, Oh- it's gone
